Redbull Air race - Cashell

Yeah, I saw the highlights of the last round in Austria a few weeks ago on TV3. I thought it was good but I think I can kind of see where you're coming from, Skitbra. I think if you don't have much of an interest in planes or aviation you probably would find it boring but for someone like me who's into all that kind of thing I thought it was really cool, hence my disappointment in not getting tickets for it.

I suppose it's much the same thing with something like motor racing, I guess. If you're into it you think it's excellent but, if you're not, you can't see the excitement in it. The number of times I've had friends of mine say, "How the hell can you watch motor racing? It's so boring. It's just a bunch of cars (or bikes) going round and round a track." They can't see the excitement or entertainment in it because they're not interested in it like I am. So, I reckon it's probably much the same with this Air Race thing.

nag is also one who applied manies the time but didnt get any

im so annoyed by this lottery crap. if they had charged as little as €5 or even €10 at least then we would know where we stand with the tickets, none of this 'draw' BS or even if they were to hold a day or two where they were available for us to get them, that would have been fairer.

what also annoys me is that there are people out there who applied loads of times just to get the tickets so that they could flog them on ebay for €25 or €30 a pop (or even more!). and the sad part is that people will still buy them coz they really want to go. personally, i dont believe in paying that kind of money for something that was given out for free. if feel totally ripped off.

im sure im not going to get anywhere with this request seen as how there seems to be so many ticketless punters here but id marry my dog if someone were kind enough to give me 2 tickets that they werent going to use

omfg! ásshóle!! why the hell didnt i think of that!

nag runs straight into the wall - "i will be more sneaky next time, i will be more sneaky next time"

I've been working on the site, doing fencing crowd fencing for first few days but got a promotion since , I'm now part of the red bull team that has to put up the gates the plane flys through (18 metres high!!) before the race as well as replacing them if the planes hits them etc.. (ya have four mins to do it as well... no pressure with 60,000 crowds and 20 million tv viewers :P) Thought still nothing like seeing a plane flying sidewards 20 metres above ure head!

But really just wanna tell whoevers going you're gonna see a spectactular show. They had the first practice session today as well as an air show for the media (dual plane loop da loops etc), it really has to be seen to be believed. Planes are very fast and noisy.. though keep and eye out for the red bull plane piloted by a the hungarian creator of the race. Jaw dropping is all i can say

As for people who didn't get tickets they have another competetion on the site, but still even if ya dont get them, the view from the rock can see everything (the first gate is litarly metres from the rock walls) also good vantage point from main road. There are still 2 practice session left on tomorrow and sat (there were a few hundred watching todays from rock and roadside) so good chance to catch some pre-action.

There was 1 round done
7 out 8 planes done a round
was a long day to be waiting around for
